In the spring of the 29th year of Jingli, a spring rain had just fallen in Yanzhou City, Dayue Kyoto, and the last bit of snow foam on the street was washed into mud by the cold rain like ice blades, and the cool night wind blew into the bridge wind tunnel, making a crying sound. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

For the beggars in the imperial capital, there is no more sheltered realm than under the overpass.

The lame third child was wrapped in a torn oilcloth, his teeth chattered from the cold, and he looked at the palm-sized sky above his head in trepidation. "This rain has to fall again, five brothers, why don't you go to the north of the city tonight?"

The numb-faced Liu Wu took half of the bun into his arms: "Crazy, you can't find death if you starve to death, haven't you seen several times more soldiers in the city?"

The lame San'er stopped talking, a month ago, the palace of His Royal Highness King Kang Qihong failed to raise troops to seize the throne, captured to the prison to die, and also took the three dynasties as the commander of the Protectorate Mansion. Lame San'er was used to seeing dead people in the past, but the river of blood that morning from the Protector's Mansion and the fishy smell in the air made this man over fifty have a ghost dream for half a month.

"It's been almost a month, and I don't know what the imperial capital will be like in the future. The three lame muttered, his eyes staring at the numb-faced Liu Wu and counting on him to get an idea.

"What do you care about, do you think it's a good description outside the city? This March has not yet arrived, and it will be a flood year, and in another month, there will be hundreds of homeless people outside the city, and now we will not die of hunger for three or five meals, and we will be relaxed when the city defense is loosened. Liu Wuzheng tied the grass legs of a little beggar, and he could always buy some torn cotton clothes after the end of the previous year, but this year he could only wrap himself with a straw general.

The little beggar was blind in one eye, and half of his face was crooked, and he said while helping to pull the straw rope: "The city defense is not loose, today I passed by the old alley, and I saw that the storyteller of Sun Ji Teahouse was arrested." ”

They always begged in the old alley in the summer, and they listened to the storyteller's singing across the street when they had nothing to do, and they were quite puzzled for a while. "The storyteller is almost seventy years old, what are you doing to arrest him?"

"He said that the "Great Victory of the Canal" came, and when he said that "Shuanglong dived the canal at night and closed the water, and two thousand soldiers skillfully helped the Dragon King capture the eagle", the officers and soldiers rushed up and took him. ”

"Alas!" the lame San'er cried out in pain, "Isn't this looking for death?"

"That's it, the officers and soldiers are looking for the twins of the Jiang family with red eyes, a few days ago, someone poked his head when he passed by at the gate of the Protector's Mansion, and he was cut off by the forbidden army in ambush......"

The little beggar was so frightened that he said "Mom", and shrank straight behind the numb-faced Liu Wu, Liu Wu glanced at the man, there was a slanted scar on his face, and it was the most terrible when he stared at him, and the others shrank their necks and silenced when they saw him like this.

The lame San'er smiled shyly: "You can't talk outside in the bridge wind tunnel, you are more cautious." ”

Liu Wu laid out a straw mat to sleep, and said sullenly: "If you say it casually, whoever folds it on the tongue when the time comes, I will have enough mats for the shroud." ”

The numb-faced Liu Wu is the backbone of these people, more than a dozen people have inherited his kindness, he has been in the capital for two or three years, but no one knows what he used to do, according to the lame San'er, he is very likely to be a deserter from the north, only in the eyes of the soldiers can there be such a kind of anger.

Although this man is vicious, everyone believes in him, and they also rely on such a fierce person to avoid a lot of bullying.

No one said anything in the bridge wind tunnel, the little beggar tied the grass legs and quietly drilled into it to rest, the night was quiet and scared, the dark clouds were full of stars, and there was no trace of light and shadow left underground, Liu Wu lay down, staring at a gauze lamp floating on the other side of the lake, and the light was blown away by the wind after half a ring.

The sound of the wind drowned out the snoring in the wind tunnel of the bridge, like a ghost crying at night.

On the third watch, Liu Wu sat up, and the cold wind had already soaked his whole body, but he still habitually tightened his jacket full of holes. When putting on the shoes, Liu Wu hesitated, pushed his cloth shoes to the side, and took the lame San'er's hole shoes next to him and put them on his feet.

Just as he was about to get up, his arm suddenly tightened. "What are you going to do?" was the voice of the lame San'er, his two eyes wide, and he looked cautious in the black rumbling bridge hole.

Liu Wu was stunned for a moment, "Hold your urine, go out and relax." ”

The lame San'er's hands trembled: "It's loose in the hole." ”

"I'm flustered, I'll go to the lake to ......"

"Don't go to ......," cried out in a crushing voice, two tears on his blackened face.

Liu Wu's body stiffened, and he shook him off: "Don't care, Lao Tzu is panicking." ”

He got up and walked outside, but he couldn't stand up for a while, so he knelt and crawled out to catch him, and only dared to say outside the cave: "I know what you are going to do, you are looking for death, you are looking for death......

Liu Wu was grabbed by him and couldn't break free for a while: "Let go, don't blame me for being unkind to you." ”

Cripple San'er's tears and snot were all hanging on his face, "Half a year ago, I saw the mark on your arm and knew who you were." ”

In a word, Liu Wu froze.

"In the past, the Jiang family returned to Beijing victoriously, and the soldier uncle also had such a mark on his body, you are the soldier of the grandfather of the country, but the Protector Mansion is gone, and the Yuchi Army has changed its name to the Loyalty Army, do you want to hit the stone with an egg?"

Liu Wu was silent for a long time, then suddenly broke away from him, and hurriedly walked towards the riverbank, the lame San'er didn't know where to get his strength, like a mad dog, he used his hands and feet together, and tore half of the sleeve on Liu Wu's arm.

Liu Wu's arms covered with green tendons were exposed in the cold wind, and a feather-like mark just appeared. Earlier, whenever this mark was exposed, Liu Wu would definitely be busy covering it up, but now Liu Wu didn't want to cover it.

The marshal of the three dynasties, a heroic martyr, the four sons of the old prince died on the battlefield, and his old man is still sitting on the border at the age of eighty, which is such a loyal soul, but he doesn't know who planted four capital crimes, and he was punished all over the house.

"I'm going to kill Qi Hong. Under the night, Liu Wu's eyes were full of murderous intent.

King Kang Qihong, His Royal Highness of Dayue Kingdom, the grandson of the old prince, is still alive in the world after such a disaster.

"The prison is heavily guarded, and you can't even break through the prison door alone. ”

"Zhao Deaf has become a pawn in prison, and I have already agreed with him that I will be allowed to enter the empty space before dawn. ”

"And how are you going to get out?"

Liu Wu's eyes were condensed, and the lame San'er understood when he looked at his expression, he only begged to go in, and he must not have thought about coming out again.

The lame San'er's heart hurt, and he cried again: "Don't go, don't go......"

Liu Wu has been begging for food in the capital for three years, and he has been with the lame San'er for the longest time, and at this time, seeing this man who is over fifty years old crying like this, he can't help but be moved.

But he had been planning for a long time, and tonight he was ready to die. Liu Wu was ruthless, with a little force on his legs, he kicked the lame San'er over, the lame San'er didn't give up, and he had to turn it up again, Liu Wu's palm knife had been chopped off, and it was slashed at the back of the lame San'er's neck, and the lame San'er immediately fainted to death.

Liu Wu was entangled by the lame San'er for a long time, and for fear of missing a big matter, he dragged him behind a leeward stone, and then accelerated his stride to leave.

I had just walked a dozen or so pieces, and suddenly heard a very soft voice in the shadow of the cave entrance: "Stay." ”

Liu Wu was startled, and when he turned around, a rusty dagger in his arms was already in his hand, and there was a person standing in the shadows, and he couldn't see his face clearly for a while.

"Who's there. ”

Vaguely, the man walked out, and it was the "little mute" he picked up on the street a few days ago, but she clearly stopped him just now.

Liu Wu picked up the dagger and pointed over: "You are not dumb, who are you?"

The "little mute" wore a half-torn jacket, his face was mostly covered by mud, and a large braid hung down in front of him, and his fur was as frizzy as the dead grass in autumn. In the past, I saw her leaning over and not speaking, but now I feel that this girl has a bit of a man's arrogance.

"Let me take a look at your military network. Her voice was rough, thick and hard.

Liu Wu was shocked, "Who are you?"

The "little dumb" was not ambiguous, rolled up his sleeves and walked over, and spread his head towards Liu Wuyi, which was also a feather gallop army.

Liu Wu's eyes were as wide as a cow, staring at her with trembling eyes, and a thousand strange thoughts popped up in his mind, but in the end, he took a step back cautiously: "How can I have a female ...... in the Yu Chi Army?"

"I'm a man. The little mute's voice was like the coarsest gravel scraping flesh, and his tone was categorical, he didn't wait for Liu Wu to doubt again, and asked: "Are you the vanguard of the Qingguan Department during the battle of Jiaocheng three years ago?"

The bone-chilling cold seemed to pierce Liu Wu's whole body, and this ugly-looking man staggered a step, "You...... How do you ......"

The little mute seemed impatient, and two thick eyebrows crossed his face, and said, "Come with me, my general has been looking for you for three years." ”

After saying that, the "little dumb" strode towards the riverbank, the sky seemed to have twilight, he walked very fast, Liu Wu followed more and more difficult, at first Liu Wu still had doubts, but the longer she followed, looking at her figure when she dodged the defenses, and the skill when jumping over the wall, Liu Wu was only left with heartfelt excitement.
